Kentucky’s adult education instructors attend training sessions as part of a three-year professional development plan that is based on Kentucky Adult Education’s adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). This training follows the Office of Vocational and Adult Education’s Standards-in-Action Innovations for Standards-Based Education. Instructors develop a full understanding of the knowledge and skills that the CCSS cover.
This resource is part of the Guide to the Common Core Standards: Kentucky Adult Education collection. KYAE offers these materials for consideration by other adult educators. We recommend interested parties first review each the facilitator’s guide for English/language arts to better understand the context of the videos.

The professional development session in this clip was designed to help adult education instructors understand the language of Common Core State Standards adopted by KYAE. Adult education trainer Dawn Hanzel shows the group how to “unpack” a standard to examine its components and reach consensus on its expectations.
The list of “Supplemental Media” above includes many of the materials that were provided during the training session.
The Kentucky Adult Education’s Common Core Standards are available on their webpage.
If you are sharing this process with other adult education instructors, you might find it helpful to follow the Unpacking Process Guidelines.
